Fox-red Labrador Hetty is part of a groundbreaking team trained to detect bowel cancer through urine samples. With a sense of smell significantly more powerful than humans, Hetty can identify cancerous samples in less than a second. This innovative approach, led by Medical Detection Dogs, aims to gather data that could inform AI tools for cancer diagnosis.
The training involves collecting detailed data on Hetty's sniffing behavior, which could eventually help develop electronic noses capable of identifying cancer scents. Medical Detection Dogs, founded in 2008, has already shown success in detecting various diseases, including Covid-19. The charity's vision includes using trained dogs to screen elderly populations for urinary tract infections, showcasing the potential of canine olfactory abilities in medical diagnostics.
